Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a control device for a bicycle suspension. It is well known that a suspension device provided on one or two wheels of a bicycle can increase the comfort and safety of the bicycle on uneven roads. However, a bicycle equipped with a bicycle can prove to be disadvantageous, because in some cases, the vibration generated on the wheel of the shock absorber may cause a considerable reduction in the actual performance of the cyclist. Push down on the pedal. The best examples of this inconvenience are on ramps and when there is considerable acceleration, even though this inconvenience can occur only when the cyclist applies power to the bicycle. The main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the inconveniences mentioned above, or at least to solve some problems arising from this situation. In the present invention, this result is achieved by setting up a device which has the characteristics described in item 1 of the patent scope. Further features are described in the dependent items. It is possible to set the spinner to activate the suspension mechanism. If the vibration isolation is used, it can be proved that the equipment is set up. The speed of the suspension unit is changed by riding the bicycle and the rear wheels. This feature, according to the present invention, is easy to use stylized intervention, automatically during driving; when the pedal is pushed down, that is, when the center is running, it can block the shock absorption function. Moreover, this adjustment can be canceled 'so that it can act on the suspension of the front wheels or on the suspension of two wheels. If it exceeds a certain speed, it is not necessary to push the function down. It is advantageous when the cyclist continues downhill. Device, allowing its users to easily and intuitively make it economical and safe, even when used for a long time.

Description of the invention (2) [Simplified description of drawings] Fig. 1 schematically shows a side view of the right side of the bicycle equipped with the present invention 'and an enlarged view of some details thereof. From the following description and the accompanying drawings of a specific example of the present invention, those skilled in the art will easily understand the advantages and characteristics of the present invention, but the specific example should not be considered as a limitation. A side view of the right side of a bicycle provided with the device of the present invention, and an enlarged view of some details thereof. FI is its basic structure and with reference to the drawings, the composition of the device of the present invention includes a pulse generator (1) connected to a pedal (2), and at each rotation of the corresponding axis (3), the pulse The wave generator (1) generates a predetermined number of pulse waves. Example ^ ’^ Said pulse wave generator can be installed-a sound wheel acts between the shaft (3) and the pedal ⑷, or an encoder is connected to the shaft (3). Pulse wave generation = 2 is composed of electromagnetic induction sensors, which can sense the discontinuity of a ferromagnetic disk attached to a very high speed device (21) during its rotation = magnetic flux change &. In practice, the 'pulse generator' is used as a rotation detector in the center of the bicycle to detect the use of the pedal in this way. The outlet i pulse wave generator (1) is connected to a programmable microcomputer (5). The wheel microcomputer (5) can be equipped with a power supply battery. For example, the microcomputer can be located on the handle panel. The microcomputer can be provided with a button panel (Figure 1 (Not shown), the person can… have a start button and a release button, by which the bicycle can be used to activate or deactivate the microcomputer. The pulse wave generator and the microcomputer are connected together by a rubber-coated cable (7), and the cable (7) can be suspended on the frame (4). The microcomputer (5) is connected to the output end of the first servo mechanism (8) acting on the rear wheel suspension, and is connected to an action

Description of the invention (3) The second server (11) on the front wheel (1 3) suspension (1 2). The microcomputer (5) and the hangers (9) and (12) can be connected together by corresponding rubber-covered cables (14) and (1 5). 'As shown in the example in the figure' An electromagnetic sensor (16) fixed on a fork (20) is arranged on the front wheel (〗 3) and corresponds to a fixed on a shaft spoke (〖9) The elements (18) work together to detect the speed of the bicycle and determine how many kilometers have been travelled. The sensor (16) is connected to the microcomputer (5) through a rubber-covered cable (17). The sensor (16) sends a signal similar to that used by a general tachometer or rate meter. The above device operates as follows. If the cyclist does not want to use the microcomputer button panel to activate the device, it can stop the control of the bicycle suspension so that the bicycle operates as a conventional shock absorption system, that is, if the bicycle is under pressure, the shock absorber can respond . If the cyclist wants to use the control of the bicycle suspension, it can be activated by pressing the corresponding button of the microcomputer (5). In this configuration, whenever the detector (1) sends a signal indicating that the central operating unit of the bicycle is rotating, the microcomputer sends a signal to at least eleven of them acting on the shock absorber (12, 9) Servo mechanism (u, 8). In cooperation with the received signal (the signal can be amplified or delayed), the servo mechanism (1 1 8) acts on the shock absorber in order to stop its response (the composition of the servo mechanism (11, contains a bi-stable linear or rotary actuation) Device, which can have two working states' if they are operated 'as shown in the non-limiting illustrative example). In other words,' about the hydraulic damping system shown in the example, the oil guide which causes the shock absorption

On the t service, when the cyclist is pedaling (for example, inserting a ramp on a horizontal section), the shock absorber is disengaged, that is, blocked, r, SI ^ early] more, the opposite (Every time you don't need to act on the pedals / on the downhill section) "Salt shaker is activated. When using, for example, climbing feet, etc., the automation that allows for activation or deactivation can prove to be particularly advantageous: especially in cross-country competition When the cyclist needs to drive on a flat road, a slope or a downhill section. Because the device can be activated manually, the shock absorber can be used by pressing the button even when the cyclist is pedaling. 'If it exceeds a pre-set threshold speed, even when the pedal is depressed' the device also allows the shock absorber to be activated automatically. Further functions provided by this microcomputer (5) 'are due to the so-called "downhill Race "t 'Bicyclists must step on pedals and use shock absorbers even on downhill sections' The signal from the tachometer sensor (16) is particularly useful at this time. This system allows the cyclist to act on the front suspension, the rear suspension, or both depending on their needs. Regarding the further implementation of the present invention, the device for detecting the operation of the two pedals can be positioned on the gear (30) of the rear wheel (10). In practice, the details of the implementation can be within the scope of this innovative concept, that is, within the limits and scope of this patent, equivalent changes can be made to the shape, size, position of components, type of material, etc.
